iPhone 4 pre-orders

The press release indicated that more than 600,000 iPhones were pre-ordered on June 15. Will be interesting to learn how many more (and if 600k was understating or about right). Given the difficulties of ordering, assuming that it wasn't due to the rumored AT&T security changes the weekend before, perhaps it was far higher?

Note that the iPad sold about 300,000 on its first day (I know this includes both walk-ins and pre-orders but I have to believe that for iPhones, pre-orders largely substitute for walk-ins) Which makes 600,000 seem somewhat unimpressive and, in fact, low.
